The Silence of Blood: When the Map Is Written in the Blood of Alawites and Druze...

Amid the flood of claims about a “soft coup” in Syria, cities are being obliterated, families slaughtered, and local populations replaced by jihadist leaders from Central Asia. Assad’s state did not fall to give birth to a civil state--;-- it fell to establish a de facto caliphate, run from Damascus by groups listed as terrorist organizations by the United States and Europe.

Al-Jolani has not renounced his caliphate project as Gorbachev did with the Soviet --union--. His slogans are translated on the ground into massacres targeting Alawites on the coast, Druze in Sweida, and Christians in the Valley of the Christians. These scenes recall Yugoslavia and Darfur, yet they surpass them in brutality, committed in the name of “Sharia” and under the banner of “liberation.”

Western public opinion, particularly in the United States, is still slow to grasp the truth. Even media outlets opposed to terrorism have begun describing these groups as “potential allies,” as if Syrian blood were measured not by ethical standards, but by geopolitical utility. Meanwhile, Syrian communities in exile—Alawites, Christians, Druze, Kurds, and moderate Sunnis—are awakening. They are not mere refugees--;-- they are politically active entities capable of shaping awareness through social media, legal advocacy, and engagement with Congress and the press.

What is happening is not just a regime change--;-- it is an attempt to replace entire societal components. The Nusra militias and their allies do not believe in federalism´-or-decentralization. They believe in centralized caliphal authority, reject partnership, and consider pluralism a deviation. A pluralistic state cannot be built atop slaughtered communities. Democracy cannot be proclaimed while coastal villages are replaced by foreign fighters and churches threatened with erasure.

The international community, especially the United States, now faces a critical responsibility: first, to ensure the security of threatened regions—the coast, Sweida, the Valley of the Christians, and the Kurdish northeast—as a prerequisite for any political settlement--;-- second, to recognize that any political arrangement that excludes entire communities cannot be just´-or-stable--;-- and third, to support the legal initiatives of Syrian diaspora organizations in the West, which are now formalizing under U.S. laws to represent the grievances of their peoples.

Three months may be enough to reveal the truth—or too late. What matters is that the victim’s voice be heard before silence becomes complicit in the crime. Syria is not merely a battleground for regional powers--;-- it is a homeland for all its children. Those who care about its future must start where the blood begins: with the voice of the forsaken, not with the language of the one holding the weapon.
